Let the Anxiety go!

As a mother I am constantly struggling with anxiety attacks from worrying about my kids. Not only do I get worked up when my kids are doing things for the first time... like swimming or exams during the school term... my mind is always freaking me out of things that could happen. Things I would have absolutely no control over. 

 As a mother I get nervous when they are running around. Especially my 2 year old who is wearing a dress and racing like there is no tomorrow :) Or when it is their first day of school and worrying about if they would make any friends. 

 The problem is... too much worrying brings about STRESS. So I really have to take it down a notch. 
How do I do that??? I do what everyone else is doing. I play Carnival!!!

 Around this time of year I relieve months and months of pent up stress by jumping in the streets with my hubby and close friends. 



I just let the music flow and have a fantastic time dancing the entire day away!!! 

 Granted my kids will be well taken care of by my sister, so no anxiety attack there... Just the freedom of not having the kids around... not having to worry about meals... naps... snacks.... play time is a treat all in itself... So Carnival is the icing on the cake!!!!




This is how I plan to let my anxiety go....

What do you do????

    Definitely getting out without the kids is a great way to relieve stress. We have date nights every week on Friday, and it is awesome for relieving stress and building our parental relationship.

    Looks like a great plan! Nothing better than a great party. I actually had most of my anxiety when my oldest two were babies. I thought about every worst case scenario. Now I don't have as much time to ponder the awful possibilities. I do enjoy exercise and crafting when my stress levels get too high.

    I'm glad to know I'm not the only mother out there who worries like crazy about her baby(ies).

    I say a lot of prayers and put my trust in God to keep my family safe.

    Looks like you will be having a blas relieving all that stress!!

    I suffer from anxiety too, and I can only imagine how hard it will be once I have kids! When I recognize the signs I try to remind myself how I would much rather be a laid back, go with the flow type of person and not to stress!

My Version of Fall.

I have been seeing on other blogs beautiful pictures of the ever changing and eye stimulating Fall season. Honestly living in Trinidad limits your experiences of the changing seasons and seeing how spring turns to summer to fall and then winter. All I have is endless summer greenery. All I have is the constant warm weather and lush green rain forests. So I have been living vicariously through other blog admiring the Fall pictures and sometimes questioning if it is really true. Then I had a beautiful sunny day yesterday and got to spend the day just lying on a beach and soaking in the sun. So I decided to give you all my version of Fall. And see what we get during the Fall Season. Enjoy.  I visited a beach house in Blanchisseuse Beach and it was attached to 3 different bays. It was fun just splashing in the waves, and fun exploring each bay in the warming sun. This was a bird's eye view of the bay that had clear green water and little watery caves to hide under. My son...

WW ... Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2

I went .... I saw .... I conquered :) Monday Evening: "Honey can you watch the kids tonight ... there is something VERY important I have to do?" "Sure Jill but what is it??" "You don't worry about that .... I will just be home around 7pm tonight!" It was FANTASTIC ... and the perfect end. Stephanie Meyer did an excellent job producing it. I will love this movie....

Guardian Angel working Overtime!!

Saturday morning this occurred while I was on my way with the kids to my family's home in San Fernando. My car is the Blue Madza and my kids were in the back seat!! I had just stopped at a traffic light with 4 cars ahead of me, waiting for the lights to turn green, when the Green car smashed into me from behind.  All I can say is that we were all frightened by a loud bang from behind, and just as I turned my head to look at my kids in the back, I saw my car skidding on the wet road heading towards the car infront of me. There was no stopping and unfortunately my car struck the car infront of me :( From that point on there was alot of screaming from the kid behind, me trying to calm them, and me trying to get my husband on the phone. Even today I still cannot believe it happened. Clearly the woman who struck me from behind did not see me stopping along with the other cars, clearly she was distracted doing something else than focusing on the road. ...
